Statement of Primary Purpose

The ACE Foundation is organized to provide continuing education opportunities to licensed clinical social workers, licensed master social workers and other mental health professionals; to provide educational opportunities to the general public to learn about social work and to enhance the knowledge base for clinical social workers.

Goals

The Advanced Clinical Education Foundation (501 (c)3 is the educational arm of the New York State Society for Clinical Social Work, Inc.. Among its activities we offer an annual educational conference (48th in 2017) as well as chapter clinical programs and workshops across the state. We offer opportunities to improve clincial social work practice through the understanding of relevant theory and techniques, updates on research, and ethical practice. Since many but not all of our members are private practitioners, clinical practice updates are crucial to competent practice.

The ACE Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, including the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under that Section of the Code.
